Chicken Tacos
Well we had our first meal cooked in the truck with the groceries that we bought before leaving the terminal. We settled on chicken tacos. We have an electric skillet that we use, as to not make a mess of dishes since we are very short on space lol. Most of our ingredients are frozen,…

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
So trucker respect….I’ve had my own little thoughts on truckers and I’m sure you have to. They are nasty, rude, 300-pound slobs. For some those words may fit lol. For others it is the exact opposite.
